I beg everyone to watch this extraordinary interview with legendary Israeli journalist @Hass_Haaretz. Share it with loved ones who need to see it too, with a personal note from you. We need to change hearts and minds to save lives.
“For starters, we must understand language, literature, culture and the humanities as political and social sites ripe with transformative possibilities.” Read this piece, plus the @LAReviewofBooks pieces linked… truthout.org/articles/layoff…
